I love this book. It caught my eye in an antique mall, but the copy was grubby for $10. Having much bitter experience in just how little monetary value a beautiful old book can have, I tried Abe books and found a cleaner one for $5.20.
Pub.1942, written by a woman who had been living in the Rangeley Lake region for 6 years. She and her husband were both licensed guides in Maine, the phone line ended at Brown's Farm, which wasn't a farm, ... anyway, much info and more humor.

The folder is a Kent.

screened porch - Look for - The ONE EYED POACHER IN THE MAINE WOODS - out of print but a hilarious read - about the ongoing conflict between Mr. Ranger and Mr. Poacher. If you find 2 copies please look me up for a pass it on - of course I'll cover all expenses. Thanks.

I think I read the one you show but will need to check. Might have been too many long years ago for me to remember the specifics. I'm an Abe Books shopper too.

It used to be I could pick up a book, read the first line, and remember the whole story. Now I just get a nagging sense of familiarity.
I'll keep an eye peeled for that One-eyed Poacher.
Abe's great. I lent Walter Edmonds' The Musket and the Cross to somebody who still has it. Rather than badgering him when I wanted to check on something, I just ordered another from Abe.
Also from Abe: too much detail on fiddle-whittling, and not much general enough to help with my uke project, but not a painful investment.

Newest knife and a new book tonight. I really like the Shuffler. Another Russo.

I posted a cropped version of this photo in the "What Traditional Knife are you Totin' Today" thread already, but I didn't know that there was a thread specifically for knives on books. So, behold three knives on the steam tables copy that got me through Thermodynamics at OU.
